Three Data Centers, Four Days: New Standard For OpenStack Cloud Upgrade

Explore how Sardina Systems resolved the everlasting OpenStack Cloud Upgrade problem for Datacomm, a major IT service provider, in record time.

Upgrading an OpenStack cloud has always been associated with tales of complexity and challenges. When our reputable clients at Datacomm ventured into an OpenStack cloud, they were not sure what the upgrade process would take them. However, their experience turned out to be a breeze, as the upgrade was completed within a few days, thanks to Sardina Systems’ automated FishOS solution.

Challenge of a Leading IT Service Provider

Datacomm Diangraha is a reputable IT service provider from Indonesia. It has over 30 years of operating experience, catering to diverse clients ranging from telecommunication companies and enterprises to government agencies.

Before turning to FishOS and OpenStack, Datacomm faced the daunting task of manual system upgrades, involving extensive documentation study, simulations, and meticulous scheduling. The increasing complexity of cloud environment demanded an innovative and time-saving alternative. OpenStack emerged as a potential solution, though concerns lingered about the upgrading process. In the end, Datacomm placed their trust in Sardina Systems’ fully-automated FishOS cloud management platform to address their challenges.

How FishOS Has Changed the Game for Datacomm

OpenStack-based cloud upgrades can typically span weeks or even months. However, Sardina Systems achieved this remarkable feat in just four days.

Some may raise a eyebrow at the claim, thinking ‘That can’t be true!’ especially if they are familiar with OpenStack-based cloud platforms. Actually, the sceptics would be right, as the transition did not take us four days. It took us five. While the actual transition process took our team four days, another day was dedicated to preparation.

“Sardina really helped us in upgrading OpenStack, making technical matters simpler and easier. We only focus on timekeepers and ensure network resilience is guaranteed when upgrading.”

Our team thoroughly tests the new OpenStack version and addresses any potential issues well in advance. This ensures that the customer receives a tested and fully functional solution without any worries about the backend work we’ve done.”
